Dendrite iirc is essentially in maintenance mode. I run a small one but I don’t think it’s expected to get any new features until there is more funding.

Because I’m at a fast food place in the first place because my time is important and I don’t want to waste it ordering.

That and the guy taking orders does it 1000x a day and i can easily order that way instead of me navigating ten different menus just to order a simple meal for my family.

I’m OK with my old man status at this point. Tech is good when it improves things for the consumer. The kiosks seem to just improve the company bottom line IMO.

This is fantastic. I’ve been using it for a while and it’s battery efficient and easy to use.

The Dev is responsive and I’ve donated. Should probably do that again soon.

OK. Continue feeling sorry for yourself and wonder why things keep getting worse. Glhf

Getting all the states to agree to this seems unlikely and I believe it needs to be unanimous, right?

You’re not wrong. If young people turned out every election then things might change.

Source- former stupid nonvoting till 22 kid. And i was even ahead of my cohorts.

I would love if lawsuits brought the shit that is ai down. It has a few uses to be sure but overall it’s crap for 90+% of what it’s used for.

That’s a good take but I gotta say- kids are kids. They WILL slack off, they will goof off, they will use the phones for other things. This isn’t a critique- it’s what kids do.

If they need tools then a couple ipads or similar can be used. I don’t find the argument “they need to exist with smartphones in society” convincing for school. At work you know you’ll be fired if you’re caught using your phone too much, etc. and slacking off. Kids aren’t under the same pressure as that and quite frankly I wouldn’t expect them to act with that level of maturity as even some adults don’t and they’re older and should be wiser.

As for the problem of just existing with them? I feel like that is yet another thing that school won’t solve. That is up to their parents, etc. Good habits start at home. Expecting schools to solve all problems (especially ones so entrenched like socioeconomic conditions, poverty, etc.) is half of why we’re here in the first place. But guess what? If the kid is given a tablet or allowed to use a cell phone at the table and basically whenever/wherever they want, do you think their behavior will be different in school? Do you think it’s up to the school to be forcing this? That is yet another ridiculous burden I think we’d put on teachers and staff.

Moreover, don’t you think we should be conditioning these kids that it’s ok to exist without a phone?

These kids won’t be worse off without phones. Like you said- the rest of us did just fine without them. Let them have a calculator and computers in computer class and call it a day.

Seems odd. They’ve been pushing login.gov like everywhere.

Imagine being these people angry at us wanting something that doesn’t affect them in the slightest. Talk about petty.

It really is. Like a lot of non alcoholic is crap (maybe if you’re a rare drinker it’s passable and unnoticeable). But Guinness 0.0 tastes very close to real Guinness. I’m not sure i could tell the difference in a blind test honestly.

I haven’t. The n9 with meego was amazing. The n900 too but I’m still sour thinking how great meego would be now instead of android.

It’s not going to be a shitshow at all. Business will mostly move to 11 whether they like it or not and consumers will just use unpatched win10. The exact same way they did with XP and the exact same way they did with 7.

It’s only gonna be a shitshow if there is some earth shattering vulnerability found that a worm can exploit and even then MS would probably just push out an out of band update.

This is honestly going to be a “nothingburger.”

I might give this a go. Have been using bog standard ingress nginx for my k8s but have wanted to try a gateway supporting ingress product for a while.

Thanks op.

Yep, looked more into it. Honestly it sounds great. A dedicated box AND remote with kodi and an integrated app store? I’m intrigued. Will give this os a go soon.

Definitely interested but not sure what apps are in its app store and what osmc even is (only ever used kodi).

Disagree. I’ve self hosted nextcloud for years without issue.

Just go with what you need. Some only need contacts and calendars, others want the whole thing.

Cool. How about a repairable phone with a headphone jack? I’ll be a day one buyer.

Oh OK. Another person who has it all figured out. Sorry i wasted my time. Have a good day.

I put the wire down my shirt or coat. Doesn’t get in the way at all.

Never have to charge- that is so important to me because I definitely don’t want anything else to have to charge. I hate smartwatches for the same reason (and because I don’t like wearing watches.)

And lastly, port doesn’t have to be omitted. Xiamoi or whoever had a razor thin phone with a jack- no issues with space. Also, companies had IP68 or whatever ratings with headphone jacks before.

You’re not gonna convince us. We know what we like and we know there is zero reason that the jack can’t be put in. It wouldn’t preclude people like yourself from using BT all the same but would afford us a simple time-worn and battle tested way of listening to music the way we like that clearly has upsides to only having BT available.
